Two New Foals on the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge

Yesterday afternoon, Ally Kroon and her friend took the afternoon Refuge Bus Tour at the CNWR, hoping to see a few herds of the Chincoteague ponies.  They hit the jackpot - being the first to see foal number 60 - a black tobiano pinto, sired by Ace's Black Tie Affair, and out of Jean Bonde's Bayside Angel. The sex of the foal is not yet known, but Ally Kroon took the following two photos:


  Darcy and Steve Cole, of DSc Photography, decided to make the hike up to the north end of the island, to see if they could see the foal and determine it's sex.  No word so far on foal 60; but hiking north, Darcy did see a new foal (number 61) sired by Ajax with Skylark.  The foal is a bay tobiano pinto, and from the third photo, I'd say that it's a filly...  I'll let you know the sexes of both foals as soon as they are "officially" announced.  The following three photos are by DSC Photography.
